Grading Permit GRAD2023-00107 is a local government authorization issued by the San Luis Obispo County Planning and Building Department for a residential construction project located at 1475 Sugarbush Court in Arroyo Grande, California. The project involves the construction of a 3,856-square-foot single-family residence, a 1,093-square-foot four-car garage, and a 1,310-square-foot covered patio on a 6.32-acre parcel designated as Residential Rural. Additional site improvements include a new septic system, a driveway, and three retaining walls, with an estimated 6,117 cubic yards of cut and fill affecting approximately 0.98 acres of the property. The project is governed by the San Luis Obispo County Code and has been granted a General Rule Exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines §15061(b)(3), as it was determined to have no significant impact on biological, cultural, or geological resources. Key compliance requirements include adhering to the County General Plan and Area Plan standards, as well as following the Archaeological Resource Discovery Protocol under County Code Section 22.10.040, which requires work to cease and the county to be notified within 24 hours if any cultural materials are discovered. Administrative oversight is managed by Division Manager Eric Hughes, and the project is submitted by applicants Billy and Dee Lynna Morgan.
